Devin drives 33 miles east and then drives 56 miles northHow far is he from his starting point? (1 point)
To solve this problem, we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the distance between Devin's starting point and his current position.
Let's call the distance east as x, and the distance north as y.
According to the problem, Devin drives 33 miles east and then 56 miles north, so x = 33 and y = 56.
Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can find the distance between the starting point and the current position:
Distance = sqrt(x^2 + y^2)
Distance = sqrt(33^2 + 56^2)
Distance = sqrt(1089 + 3136)
Distance = sqrt(4225)
Distance = 65
So he is 65 miles away from his starting point.
